I have heard that theory a few times but it doesn't quite hold up..

Well a couple of things come to mind. The first is maybe I am not understanding you fully. When you ask "why?" I have to say that, like you, I don't know or have proof. I only know that has been my experience. If I take a shave ready edge and make even a slight slurry on MY coti it doesn't max out and get sharper. Only on clear water. Why, I do not know. Your theory is as good as mine. Maybe better.

As for the second part. If my razor is slightly off or needs a refresh I personally don't mess with a slurry and dilute it. I just use water only and bring it back. That's me and my stone though.

Now I am using an all Arkansas progression so thats a different animal altogether.
